The Mammoth Islanders discover the power of an invisible force called magnetism when lightning strikes their wire and iron bar "clothes dryer." When an electric current flows through the wire, the current creates a magnetic field around it. The Islanders learn that opposites do attract.

The Mammoth Islanders are building a new observation tower out of stone blocks. When one of the Islanders gets trapped at the top, the Islanders build ramps around the tower to create a giant screw which help the trapped Islander to get down.

The inhabitants of Mammoth Island are trying to find the best method to lift their mammoths when a young Islander uses a simple machine called a pulley to get the job done. A pulley is a wheel that carries a rope, chain or cable on its rim and can be used alone or with other pulleys to lift heavy loads.

A family of Mammoth Islanders remodel a quaint old lodge in the mountains and decide that the old building could use some modernization. A visiting inventor suggests sensors, and explains the principles behind different types of sensors that respond to heat, light, sound, pressure, magnetism, or motion.

Two young Mammoth Islanders are delivering mail with a mammoth-drawn wagon when they learn how important the force of friction is as they attempt to slow down. They test a variety of brakes to find the type just right for them, but even with proper brakes, they still get an unscheduled bath after a failed attempt to stop quickly.

The inhabitants of Mammoth Island work together to retrieve a wedding ring that has fallen down a sink drain. They discover what a straw, a plunger, a vacuum and a jackhammer all have in common and the differences and similarities between air pressure (pneumatic machines) and liquid pressure (hydraulic machines).

Two young Mammoth Islanders enlist the help of a visiting inventor to design a machine that will make the rides at the amusement park much more exciting. After observing the power in the expanding steam of a tea kettle, they decide to build a steam engine that would convert heat energy to mechanical energy that will power everything from spinning cotton candy to powering roller coasters.

When the baking shed catches fire, the Mammoth Islanders use their water-filled mammoths to put it out. But with the help of an inventor, one young Islander develops a machine that pumps water to put out the next fire and saves the summer barbecue.

The inhabitants of Mammoth Island learn how sound energy travels in waves, and one islander creates a primitive microphone, amplifier and loudspeaker.

When a mammoth delivering canvas awnings gets lifted off the ground by the wind, the Mammoth Islanders discover the power of the wind. The Islanders experiment and eventually learn the right combination of the four forces involved in flight: gravity, lift, thrust, and drag.
